Spotify‘s in-car hardware device, the ‘Car Thing’ is officially available to buy in the US.

The gadget, priced at $89.99, is Spotify’s first-ever music-listening hardware.

Car Thing is an in-car listening device and player that features a dial to browse, select, play and pause content, a 4″ touchscreen and four preset buttons for shortcuts.

Car Thing enables listeners to play music and podcasts using ‘Hey Spotify’ voice commands, taps, turns, and swipes of the touchscreen, and scrolling using the built-in dial.

Spotify says the Car Thing provides a “more seamless” and “personalized” in-car listening experience, allowing users to access Spotify’s entire catalog of music and podcasts across a range of vehicles.
